Engage students in mathematics using growth mindset techniques The most challenging parts of teaching mathematics are engaging students and helping them understand the connections between mathematics concepts. In this volume, you'll find a collection of low floor, high ceiling tasks that will help you do just that, by looking at the big ideas at the sixth-grade level through visualization, play, and investigation. During their work with tens of thousands of teachers, authors Jo Boaler, Jen Munson, and Cathy Williams heard the same message—that they want to incorporate more brain science into their math instruction, but they need guidance in the techniques that work best to get across the concepts they needed to teach. So the authors designed Mindset Mathematics around the principle of active student engagement, with tasks that reflect the latest brain science on learning. Open, creative, and visual math tasks have been shown to improve student test scores, and more importantly change their relationship with mathematics and start believing in their own potential. The tasks in Mindset Mathematics reflect the lessons from brain science that: There is no such thing as a math person - anyone can learn mathematics to high levels. Mistakes, struggle and challenge are the most important times for brain growth. Speed is unimportant in mathematics. Mathematics is a visual and beautiful subject, and our brains want to think visually about mathematics. With engaging questions, open-ended tasks, and four-color visuals that will help kids get excited about mathematics, Mindset Mathematics is organized around nine big ideas which emphasize the connections within the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and can be used with any current curriculum.

What is sixth grade math? The goal is to become more fluent in arithmetic (including fractions, decimals, percents, exponents, and negative numbers) and also to prepare prealgebra skills. Not all schools and teachers around the world cover the same topics in the same depth in 6th grade, yet at this stage the student is generally learning a variety of arithmetic and prealgebra skills. This sixth grade math workbook includes: order of operations ratios and proportions prime factorization (including factor trees and ladder diagrams) fractions, decimals, and percents data analysis (including histograms, box-and-whisker, stem-and-leaf, and dot plots) negative numbers exponents and squareroots geometric figures and the coordinate plane direct and inverse relationships a first introduction to working with variables financial mathematics and other sixth grade math and prealgebra skills The author, Chris McMullen, Ph.D., has over twenty years of experience teaching math skills to physics students. He prepared this workbook to share his strategies for applying arithmetic and prealgebra skills.
